BABALIK KÜLTÜRÜ VE KİMLİĞİ

Abstract

Babalık her bireyin yaşamında aktör olarak gerekliliklerini yerine getirdiği bir kimlik veya karşı rol olarak yaşamın bir döneminde etkileşim içerisinde bulunduğu bir roldür. Erkek olarak bir bireyin topluma kendini ispatlamasının son aşaması olarak dayatılan bu kimliğin erkekler için önemi daha da artmaktadır. Son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalara da bakıldığında bu ilginin arttığı görülmektedir. Ancak yapılan çalışmalara bakıldığında babalık karşı rol bağlamında çalışılmakta, çocuğun gelişimi ve değişiminde babanın rolü üzerinden araştırmalar yapılmaktadır. Bir aktör olarak babanın gözünden bu kimliğe atfedilen anlamlara ilişkin çalışmalar yeterli değildir. Bireysel rollerin çeşitlenerek arttığı modern toplumlarda babalık rolünden beklentilerin artması erkeklerin babalık krizleri yaşamasına neden olmaktadır. Yaşanan bu krizlerin önüne geçilebilmesi için babalık çalışmalarına aktör olarak babaların gözünden yaklaşılması gereksinimi ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada araştırmacıların dikkatini çekmek ve yapılacak yeni çalışmalara yol göstermek amacıyla babalık kültürü kavramı ve kimlik teorisi açıklanmıştır. Babalığa ait toplumsal normlara atıfla kullanılan babalık kültürü kavramı ve bireyin benliğindeki içselleştirilmiş rol beklentileri olarak tanımlanan babalık kimliği ile babalık araştırmalarına daha geniş bir perspektiften bakılması amaçlanmıştır. Babalığa kimlik perspektifinden yaklaşım bu rolün icracısı olan erkeklerin gözünden babalığın anlaşılmasında literatüre katkı yapacağı değerlendirilmektedir.

The Culture And Ident i ty Of Fatherhood

Abstract

Fatherhood is a role in which each individual interacts at some point in his life as an identity or an opposing role in which he fulfills his requirements as actor in his life. This identity, which is imposed as the final stage of an individual's self-testification as a man, is becoming more and more important for men. It is observed that this interest has increased in recent years. However, when we look at the studies, the role of father is studied and researches are carried out on the role of father in the development and change of the child. Studies on the meanings attributed to this identity from the eyes of the father as an actor are not enough. In modern societies where individual roles have increased and increased, expectations for fatherhood role cause men to experience fatherhood crises. In order to prevent these crises, the necessity of approaching the paternity studies as an actor from the eyes of the fathers emerges. In this study, the concept of fatherhood culture and identity theory is explained in order to draw the attention of the researchers and to guide the new studies. The concept of fatherhood culture, which is used with reference to the social norms of paternity and the paternity identity defined as the internalized role expectations in the individual's self, is aimed at looking at fatherhood research from a wider perspective. Approach to fatherhood from the perspective of identity approach It is evaluated that this role will contribute to the literature in understanding the paternity from the eyes o f the men who are the executor of this role.
